Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Penix Jr., and a B, for the Seahawks.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: James Williams, No. 192, roughly 68 picks past where he belonged.

Whatever Michael Penix Jr. becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will need DeLoach to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In pick No. 25 they get their quarterback of the future at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 58th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Nice patience on Jeremiah Trotter Jr., who had no business lasting to the 81st overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in slot 102 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on McKinnley Jackson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at pick No. 178 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192 Rnd6 James Williams
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, James Williams in No. 192, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in the 203rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
No edge and no loss on Jaylan Ford in pick 207; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kalen DeLoach
Kalen DeLoach in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
